With the summer heating up, I just wanted to make a quick post to remind everyone to "summer-proof" their homes for their bunnies.

This involves:

Making sure that your bunny's home will not be in the full glare of the sun.

Regularly filling up bunny's water bottle with fresh, yummy water.

Turning on the fan or the air conditioner as much as possible.

Chestnut's home is by my window sill. What I do is draw my curtains part-way down during the day so that he has the choice of being in the sun or the shade. When I give him fresh veggies, I also quickly run them through the water. Chestnut is not a big water drinker, so I try to find additional ways to sneak more hydration into his diet. =)

Lastly, when deciding what temperature to set your air conditioner, try to imagine going through your home with a thick fur coat. What would it feel like?
